Defined consists of 4 series; each series is 5 weeks long. The 4 parts of the study do not need to be presented in a particular order and can be sequenced at the discretion of the leader.

You can, but we recommend starting with the 9-week experience since we are building on that foundation.

No, but continuity is always helpful and encouraged! 

Yes, similar to the 9-week Core Study, Defined is designed with a mentor and participant model in mind. We recommend having 2 leaders or “mentors” per 6 men participating.

Just like the 9-week Core Study, BetterMan Defined is suitable for any size group, including a small group (3-8 men) or in a large church or ministry setting (50-500+ men).

Churches can use BetterMan as an ongoing men’s ministry program to engage members and the community. First, they can offer the 9-week BetterMan Core Study, followed by 4 parts of BetterMan Defined. Churches can opt to offer all 29 weeks (9 weeks of Core + 20 weeks of Defined) over the course of 1, 1.5, or 2 years, depending on the amount of space between each series.

We recommend allocating 60 - 70 minutes: 30 for watching the message followed by a quick break and then 30 for group discussion.
